Pokémon: Trainers Start as Bounty Hunters.

Hunter R tightened his shirt, inside which lay a bunch of test tubes containing the target of their mission.

"Varissa, grassy field; "

Big food flower, hypnotic powder;

Exeggutor, seed bomb.

She didn't say much, but immediately threw herself into the battle.

"Phidden Eagle, Storm; "

Blaziken, breathe fire!

Ignoring the battle with Garchomp, Tetsuya began to confront the unknown female poacher.

He admired the other person quite a bit; they were really bold.

Chapter 484 was entirely unexpected.

In fact, since Wataru ascended to the throne of the Four Heavenly Kings of Kanto, fewer and fewer poachers have dared to cause trouble in the dragon's lair.

Not to mention, the Johto League has also vaguely expressed its intention to select Johto's four elite players and hand over the regional championship.

Everyone felt that this would happen very soon.

After all, the significance of Inkstone City to the City Alliance and its status within the City Alliance are quite significant and high.

It is absolutely the right choice to have the leader of the Dragon Clan serve as the regional champion.

Moreover, compared to selecting a new set of four kings and then choosing a possible champion from among them, both the Johto League's top brass and ordinary citizens prefer Wataru to take the position.

This is a powerful trainer born and raised in the Johto region, and the Pokémon he has bred are extremely representative.

Not to mention the Kanto and Johto regions, Wataru, the Dragon Messenger, has a huge number of fans and followers all over the world.

But this is not good news for some rampant poachers in the Johto region.

Watari's personality needs no further explanation.

As one of the Four Heavenly Kings, he travels between cities and the countryside in the two regions year-round, resolving countless matters, both big and small.

The other three, while not exactly unprofessional, are undoubtedly far inferior to this one.

Du's extremely high sense of responsibility and innate sense of justice make him dislike almost all dark organizations, and also make all dark organizations unwilling to pay attention to him.

Because his attention often means he's going to be in trouble.

It's important to understand that even the most powerful dark organizations are unwilling to face an investigation and targeting of a champion-level trainer.

99% of the dark organizations are powerless against Lance and can only be captured and taken to Officer Jenny.

If it were just the Four Heavenly Kings of Kanto, that would be fine. Nominally, the two regions would be managed together, but in practice, there would definitely be some troubles, and the dark organizations could still linger in the Johto region.

Once Wataru becomes the champion of Johto, the dark organizations in the Johto region will undoubtedly face a purge.

Even if you go to Kanto, there's Team Rocket there. Giovanni's methods are very powerful.

They either perish in defiance or submit and be incorporated.

Although it's much better than being caught by the League, how could a trainer who becomes a poacher and a member of a dark organization possibly be an obedient person?

Unless they are forced to, they would definitely not go to Kanto.

Not to mention Hoenn and Sinnoh.

Team Aqua and Team Magma, two arch-rivals, are locked in a fierce battle that has reached the point where anyone who isn't on their side is considered an enemy, and it's a fight to the death from the start.

Team Galactic has an exceptionally long history and a remarkably high level of understanding of the dark side of Sinnoh.

That said, it is one of the few dark organizations that refuses to train minors as a reserve force.

Others might not know, but Tetsuya knew that this confidence of the Akagi was entirely due to the legacy left behind by Team Galactic.

When you arrive in the Sinnoh region, most of the buildings you see were funded by the conglomerate established by Team Galactic and the wealthy individuals they have trained.

It is no exaggeration to say that the wealth controlled by the Galactic Team is probably only slightly less than that of the Bellizzi family.

In this situation, in order to prevent Wataru from focusing his attention on them first, all the poaching organizations in the Johto region tacitly abandoned their operations against Inkstone City.

Although Dragon-type Pokémon are valuable and powerful, you need to be lucky enough to use them.

That's why Tetsuya thought the two poachers in front of him were incredibly audacious.

Entering the Dragon Sanctuary to steal things, did the other party think that Wataru was too weak to wield his sword, or that he was too arrogant?

He did not recognize the two men in front of him as the leaders of the Gur poaching group he had encountered before.

After all, disguise is commonplace for poachers.

As long as they are not caught, their identities will not be exposed for a short period of time.

A flurry of glowing powder swarmed toward Blaziken and Pidgeot under the green light of the grassy field, while Exeggutor's three heads also emitted a strong glow.

After a brief period of charging, countless fist-sized green orbs of light shot out at high speed with tremendous impact.

The advance even accelerated the attack speed of the hypnotic powder.

"Down"

Blaziken remained calm and charged forward without paying any attention.

Its mouth gleamed with violent fiery energy.

"boom"

The enormous pillar of fire seemed to instantly engulf the entire sky.

Although it's described as a flame-spraying attack, its attack range is comparable to that of a flame vortex, and its power is even greater.

Don't forget, besides its own abilities, Blaziken also carries an incredibly powerful unknown fire-type item.

With multiple factors combined, although it's only at the initial Champion level, in terms of the intensity of its flames alone, Blaziken is in no way inferior to some near-championships.

The blindingly red flames immediately engulfed the incoming seed bombs and hypnotic powder.

It didn't even make much noise.

Once the scorching air spread throughout the area, the abilities of the Giant Carnivorous Plant and Exeggutor vanished without a trace.

Hunter R's pupils contracted; this was impossible.

She had never seen a Fire-type Pokémon that could negate all attacks with Flamethrower under such circumstances.

It's important to know that, with the support of Venusaur's Grassy Terrain, the Seed Bomb attack used by Exeggutor is no less powerful than a Normal-type Pokémon's Hyper Beam.

Even with charcoal that has a 20% effect, it shouldn't be behaving like this.

Hunter R suddenly realized that his information might be wrong.

"Damn it."

A hint of anger flashed in her eyes.

For poachers, making a mistake in intelligence is absolutely unacceptable; otherwise, losing their lives is a matter of minutes.

There has already been one mistake in the Dragon Sanctuary; this is the second.

"Bulbasaur, Sunbeam."

Looking at the towering tornado formed by Pidgeot behind Blaziken, Hunter R decisively chose to have his ace Venusaur carry out the frontal destruction.

As a powerful Flying-type move, Storm is something Grass-type Pokémon cannot withstand; it's not much worse than Fire-type moves.

Only Grass-type moves like Solar Beam or Leaf Storm can destroy a fully formed storm.

Compared to the Leaf Storm, which has significant side effects, the Sunbeam, which only requires charging, is obviously much better.

"Coconut Tree, Sunny Day".

At the same time, Hunter R further shortened the time Venusaur needed to use Solar Beam by having its Pokémon use weather moves.

Tetsuya smiled; it was just a case of drinking poison to quench thirst.

Sunny days are a huge boost for Blaziken, as the Fire type combined with the high temperature is a perfect match.

Ignoring Pidgeot's manipulation of the storm, Tetsuya believed it would find a suitable opportunity to strike.

He once again commanded Blaziken to launch an attack: "Charged Flame Strike".

Their unparalleled teamwork meant that Tetsuya didn't even need to say who the target was; Blaziken reacted instantly.

The surging flames instantly covered the Blaziken's entire body.

The afterimage of the flames lingered in the air, moving so fast that Hunter R had no way of knowing where Blaziken was.

"Bang—swish"

The next moment, a huge tree flew backward and fell into the river.

It was the coconut tree that had just used the sunny weather.

Although Hunter R sensed the danger and had Victoire put up some defense, the two vine whips it was wielding were just a bluff to Blaziken.

During that gap, Blaziken said he could dodge it even while walking.

This is, of course, an exaggeration.

As a Champion-level Pokémon, Victreebel's vine whips are actually quite fast, almost impenetrable.

But even the densest density has its limits.

For Blaziken in its charged flame attack state, dodging it by sensing gaps using its waveguide isn't difficult.

"Vanilla, use Rapid Leaf Blade;"

Exeggutor, seed machine gun!

Hunter R was covered in sweat and hurriedly commanded his elf to fight back.

Thanks to the help of the water flow, the Exeggutor suffered less damage than Tetsuya had anticipated, and it did not enter a burning state.

However, it's not a big problem.

Like a pitcher plant, the giant carnivore flicks its massive, upward-pointing mouth, and its leaves shoot out in a flurry, like sharp blades, attempting to tear apart the blazing chicken.

To Blaziken's right rear, Exeggutor, using telekinesis to pull itself out of the water, is also preparing to unleash its own power.

Despite being attacked from both sides, Blaziken remained completely undaunted.

"Boss, help!"

A mischievous voice echoed in Tetsuya's mind.

Tetsuya rolled his eyes: "Dodge, then use a fire kick."

Blaziken chuckled at its trainer who didn't want to talk.

With a push of its feet, it disappeared from the spot.

With the speed boost from Flame Burst and the two Boost abilities taking effect, Blaziken's speed is now almost at its peak.

"bang bang bang"

The giant carnivore is not a weakling either.

Although the trainer couldn't pinpoint the opponent's location to give commands, it still managed to control Razor Leaf and try its best to attack Blaziken.

However, it did not succeed.

Countless flying leaves struck the ground, but aside from stirring up layers of dust, they had no effect whatsoever.

Moreover, the swirling dust further concealed the Blaziken's tracks.

Once the Razor Leaf Blade was exhausted, Blaziken disappeared from everyone's and Pokémon's senses.

"Be on guard."

Hunter R's tense words came through.

The giant food flower swayed its leaves slightly to indicate that it understood.

The coconut palm tree, on the other hand, took this opportunity to walk ashore.

Its seed machine gun never even had a chance to be used.

"Use your mind to pull it out."
